golfers at Royal St. George’s

Every British Open course seems to have a bunker you want to avoid at all costs. "Hell" bunker and the "Road Hole" bunker at St. Andrews are two of the most notable in the history of the game. Another would have to be the treacherous fourth-hole bunker at Royal St. George's that, surprisingly, doesn't have a nickname for how scary it is.

However, even without a menacing nickname, players will want to avoid this bunker at all costs when the Open Championship tees off on Thursday.

At first glance you have to do a double-take when you see it from the tee box. At more than 40-feet deep, it's the deepest trap in championship golf, with a bunker face that appears to be reaching towards the heavens, ready to swallow up any ball headed its direction.

While it sits just 235 yards from the tee, which would certainly be an easy carry for every player in the field, the wind is expected to be a factor in the opening round, and that could put it in play.

If the golf gods have a sense of humor, they'll make sure we get a chance to see a couple players blast their way out of this crater during the tournament.

Wave, Coyote Buttes

Set in the remote Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness in northern Arizona, this dazzling rock formation, which looks like a cresting wave frozen in time, isn’t easy to access: you’ll need a permit from the Bureau of Land Management, which allows only 20 people per day to visit the delicate landform. But getting to see this fiery swirl of Jurassic-age sandstone, carved by the wind more than 190 million years ago, is well worth a little advance planning.

Niagara Falls, New York

The past century-and-a-half has seen the creation of two organizations that work together to protect America’s national treasures. After the first national park, was established in 1872 to protect the natural beauty of its world-famous geyser basins and wildlife, the U.S. National Park Service was founded in 1916—and now oversees the preservation of 58 parks around the country. Later, the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 created the National Register of Historic Places, to protect landmarks that specifically illustrate the heritage of the United States.

University of Colorado

The University of Colorado gets all the credit for keeping jobs around but, like Austin, Boulder's hippie roots and artistic bent do a nice job of keeping the foot traffic moving and keeping the place just a little quirky.

This helps spice up the job mix a bit by placing ad firm Crispin Porter  Celestial Seasonings tea and plastic sandal maker Crocs to the list of employers, but the area still relies heavily on scientific institutions such as the Center For Astrophysics and Space Astronomy,
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Space Science Institute, as well as straitlaced companies including IBM, Lockheed Martin and Ball Aerospace & Technologies to keep the party going.
